In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system consists of different typ

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

An international team of researchers, led by scientists at Lund University, has uncovered how magnesium enters mitochondria. Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a key role in numerous biological processes in the body. Among other functions, it is crucial for the mitochondria—the power plants of our cells—to produce and utilize ATP, the body’s primary energy molecule. When mitochondrial functio
